Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to allow for easy removal. Spray with baking spray.
Heat butter in microwave about 45 seconds, or until melted. Stir in white chocolate chunks and allow to stir to melt chocolate. If necessary, heat a bit more in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Whisk together egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
Stir in white chocolate mixture and pumpkin, mixing until smooth.
Fold in flour until combined, then fold in pecans.
Pour into prepared 9-inch square pan, smoothing top. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpic entered into blondies comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
Apple Cider Glaze
Heat apple cider in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and heat for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Let cool.
Whisk reduced cider and melted butter together in a bowl.
Sift in powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Spread over cooled blondies and allow to set before slicing.

Notes
Salted butter: I typically use salted butter in baking for added flavor, but if you prefer to use unsalted, just add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the blondie batter and another pinch of salt to the glaze.
